The Cartech NSX Twin Turbo
system defines engineering, sophistication and value for the NSX
performance enthusiast!!!

Quality
The essence of quality is the ability to function well and
maintain an attractive appearance for many years. The details of quality follow
from material selection, craftsmanship, choice of turbocharger, surface
coatings, silicone hoses, fit and finish. We would be delighted to have any quality aspect of our
system compared in detail with that of any other system.

CarTech FAQ

If one is not an expert in turbocharging and other
performance systems, a guide to valuable aspects and their respective
significance is a handy tool. For example, a water injector is disastrous and
fuel controls are crucial.

Any performance system has many areas that need
consideration before a judgment can be made about the quality of it's design.
These individual areas are: power, safety, response, quality, fun, economy,
durability and price. These items are discussed below.

In our experience, three features need to be controlled
to create safe power:

Why the Turbo?
Turbo machinery science has advanced to a performance and
durability level approximately 30 years ahead of any form of supercharging. The
turbine uses otherwise wasted heat and pressure energy to drive the compressor
wheel. Additionally, the turbocharger can change speed relative to the engine
independently.

Charge Cooling
Heat leads to detonation and detonation leads to engine
damage. Therefore, charge cooling is one of the most urgent requirements to a
successful system. The extreme need for high quality charge cooling has been met
by Cartech. No others have tried.

It is common in today's advertising to state that a
supercharger does not need an intercooler, whereas turbos do. This claim is
completely false. There does not exist a supercharger that is more thermally
efficient than a turbocharger. Aside from axial compressors, the turbo is the
highest efficiency air pump presently known to man.

The Cartech system has intercooling, and no other
system does. The net result is the Cartech system returns the compressed air
temperature to approximately 15*F above ambient. The temperature rise from any
other system will be in excess of six times as great.

Air/Fuel Ratios
Supplying fuel and air in proper ratios when under boost
has proven to be the most difficult facet of turbo/supercharging. We have
solved this problem on the OBDI application by utilizing the latest "plug and
play" engine management system from AEM and six 440cc injectors. On the
OBDII application, we retard the timing tables in the factory ECU and utilize a
Greddy Rebic IV injector controller for two 30lbs./hr. supplemental injectors. The
Cartech system will keep the air/fuel ratios correct under all conditions.

Margin of Safety
The Cartech NSX System offers complete margin of safety under all conditions.

Clearly a system that delivers performance as advertised must have a margin
of safety. This margin refers to the boost pressure at which detonation will
occur relative to the advertised boost setting. If a system runs 7 psi boost and
will not encounter detonation until 9 psi, the margin is 2 psi. If it does not
have a margin, it cannot be operated as advertised. The margin is created by the
heat and fuel controls designed into the system, versus the boost at which it
operates.

Fun!
A truly fun car to drive must have a specific set of
combination of features and parameters. Power and smooth drivability are two of
these. Cartech's NSX systems delivers outstanding power and smoothness. When
discussing drivability of a turbo/supercharged engine, early boost response is
commonly viewed as critical. Low speed boost capability is also an indication of
the systems response in normal driving rpm ranges. The fallacy stating that
superchargers produce more low end boost than turbochargers is quite popular.
This is clearly not the case. The reason turbos gain boost faster than Paxton style blowers is
simply that they can change speeds relative to the crank shaft. A turbo can
change speed from 5,000 rpm to 75,000 rpm without changing engine speed. At a
constant engine speed, a supercharger cannot change 1 rpm.

Economy
Although perhaps of lesser importance, any turbo system
will effect economy less than any supercharger system. The supercharger system
suffers the power loss of always driving the blower, even when boost is not
wanted. The loss is called a parasitic loss. The new turbo in the Cartech system
has the interesting characteristic of far less back pressure in the exhaust than
any turbo. The Cartech system will thus have the least effect on economy.

Power
Fun is also a function of power. The power output of our
twin turbo is 370 whp and 275 lbs./ft. of torque on an OBD II application. On
the OBD I application where the AEM EMS is used, power levels approach 400whp. Fun is also a function of smooth
drivability. Our system does not change the stock drivability quality of the
NSX.

Low End And Mid Range Torque
The Cartech system will make more boost at just 3000 rpm
than the Paxton/Vortech style can at 7000 rpm. A simple calculation can show that the Cartech system can
accelerate as hard in 4th gear at 3000 rpm as the Paxton/Vortech based unit can
in 3rd gear at any rpm. It is reasonable to suggest that the low end and
mid-range torque superiority of the Cartech system is not just somewhat better,
but orders of magnitude better.

Conclusion: The Cartech turbo system will offer a
greater degree of fun than any other form or brand of power improvement system.
We feel it is fair to suggest that more automotive fun than a Cartech Twin
Turbo equipped Acura NSX is virtually impossible to find.

These performance numbers were recorded with a stock
engine. One of Cartech's design objectives was to provide substantial
performance with an unmodified engine. Although our objective was clearly
achieved, we were mindful of those that want greater performance than the stock
engine provides. Thus, the design we created is expandable in the performance
envelope to provide virtually any power rating consistent with engine
preparation.

Installation
Simply bring your car to us! In order to ensure that installation is as trouble
free as possible, we encourage all of our NSX customers to drop their car at our
facility. We make installation affordable and trouble free. Standard installation
for a first time user is estimated at about 20 hours.
Twenty years of experience has shown that pride of ownership makes the
do-it-your-selfer a very good installer when compared to the professional
mechanic. Pride and success are in the details and the owner tends to do the
details well.

In Summary
We feel our system compares favorable with all others. We invite discussion, debate, third party review
and argument for any means of comparison. Cartech represents over twenty years of applied
turbo system design and engineering. We are confident we offer the best
available in performance systems for your Acura NSX.
